About the Score

This work shares the same text (with modern changes) as the standard-repertoire English choral anthem by Samuel Welsey, taking the words and turning them into an incessant prayer or mantra, perhaps a bit more reminiscent of Eastern spirituality than Western.I was inspired to write this piece when singing the Welsey anthem in the choir in Wednesday worship, while reflecting on how difficult it can be to ask for much-needed help and guidance – whether physical, emotional or spiritual.It was written in late October/early November 2016, a time that many people would consider frightening and confusing (during a difficult year, no less). I feel that this piece captures a bit of the spark of hope and storm of anxiety emblematic of the time, especially as many of us turn to spirituality or meditation in search of peace.
